    Still not going to help the problem that much unfortunately.

    So, YES! there is a demand for 4 to 5 more personal wards right now to satisfy that demand of about 1000 people (1000 / 60 / 5) maybe as a short term bandaid that would help for a few weeks?
    Is the demand actually for wards, or is the demand for a house?

    There's a bit of a difference between the two.

    I think people just want to actually be able to get private houses in this game.
    That lot this topic is about just got more bids than an entire District even has in terms of private houses.

    Indeed. What the developers forgot to take into account, especially as they keep releasing incredible outdoor furnishing, is that a maturing player base not only has more resources to spend, necessitating the need for more medium and large plots, but they need the additional space and slots to fully utilize the furnishings supplied.

    Player housing is in many ways the ingrown toenail of FFXIV. It’s not fatal, but it sure is annoying.

    Forum (FWIW) mostly seems to be for a house not more wards - and that's where I sit firmly in the "make it available for all camp". I don't have the metrics the devs have or much of an insight into the greater community so won't presume there.

    I was mainly just highlighting the number that would be needed for just today based on the depth of that placard count. And honestly, it likely still wouldn't be enough for the NA/EU worlds as I believe there is a cohort of people who want to try to avoid the disappointment of losing each cycle. If they exist like I think, they are the ones who gave up after round one.

    Plus of course, Blamung/Mateus alts would likely all love a decent house with that apartment situation.

    Sorry my words were not clearer.

    By adding wards, are we talking about adding a new residential district or just adding more wards to the existing districts? If it's the former then yeah, that is quite different from the demand for a house. If it's the latter, well, it is basically the same thing as demand for a house with the way the housing system is implemented. Personally, I would love to see the option for instanced houses without a hard limit, but it doesn't look like that's happening any time in the near future if ever.

    I also don't really see them doing much to alleviate the housing supply issue on current servers until the recently released and planned servers in EU and NA are filled up. Right now, I would advise any EU player who wants a house to immediately transfer to one of the new servers. You are guaranteed a house without having to leave your datacenter. You're just a city aetheryte away from the world you left. This chance will not appear again for a long time. The other new worlds in the pipeline will be on new datacenters. Access to the communities and economies of established servers will be possible thanks to datacenter visit, but it's nowhere near as seamless as those new worlds that were added to the existing EU datacenters.

    Of course, maybe if the Japanese player base becomes vocal about a need for more housing, something may be done. My understanding is that they have more servers for a lower population. I don't know the state of housing there, but if it is also undersupplied with their lower population density then hopefully the housing supply will be addressed before waiting for NA/EU population redistribution into servers that don't exist yet.

    tldr: Players are screwed while they remain in established servers.

    I'm definitely in the camp of "gave up after round one", only because I wouldn't be satisfied with a small house. I have enough gil to purchase 3 Large houses, and I personally wouldn't be satisfied with a medium, though I'd take one, but I really want a large.

    STG if someone says just move to OCE/move to the new NA servers yeah okay and leave all my friends behind, leave behind my static etc. no thanks.

    To be fair, with data center travel visit, you wouldn't be leaving behind your friends or static if you moved to one of the new NA servers when they come out later this year, since you can just travel back to primal whenever you want to hang out with them. Assuming you are on Famfrit and this isn't a forum alt or something.

    I have a large on Gilga and all my friends are on Crystal, so I just bounce between DCs all the time depending on what I'm doing.

    If you're adamant about staying on Famfrit though even when the new NA worlds come out, you'll just have to pray someone with a large on Famfrit leaves then. People willing to transfer to the new NA datacenter when it arrives will have infinitely more advantage at getting their desired house (or any house, for that matter) when they release then anyone wanting to stay put.

    Yes it will help, that SE still ignores people being able to get houses on other servers than their own likewise an additional FC does not... housing 'enthusiasts' do that all the time and they did that for good with last amount of houses we got as well.

    Sickness must be purged then you can disagree to whatever.

    A statement, Balmung is over populated for no given reason other than omg this is the so called RP server, that problem has been fixed long time ago with World Visits.
